What becomes of the soul at death? Is it put into the grave with the body, or does it fly away in a disembodied state, and go soaring around through space, waiting and longing for the time to come when it can get back into its body (put on its clothes again, so to speak) at the resurrection?

There is much confusion of thought regarding this matter. Many are disposed to express the matter wrongly by saying that they have a soul in place of saying that they are a soul. There is considerable difference in having a cow and being a [...]

St. Paul, in `1 Thes. 5:23`, prays God…”Your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless,” etc. If not, kindly enlighten fully

In his prayer, St. Paul evidently distinguishes between spirit, soul, and body. We should bear in mind that his letter was addressed to the Church collectively, and not so much to individuals. We can be quite sure that the Apostle did not refer to [...]

Do you mean to say that the spirit of the Thief, who died upon the cross when the Lord Jesus was crucified, remained in the grave with his body? If so, do the spirits of our dear friends, who turned to Christ in this life, remain with their bodies in the grave until the return of our Lord?

The inspired writers of the Bible tell us just what became of the spirit of the thief who died upon the cross. And they also tell us what becomes of the spirits of those who were devoted followers of Christ and were faithful even [...]

Can the soul die?

We read in the Bible such expressions as these: "The soul that sinneth, it shall die," (Ezekiel 18:4), "Every soul that will not hear the voice of that Prophet shall be destroyed from amongst the people (Acts 3:23). These contradict the idea of everyone having an immortal soul that [...]

Does the soul of man sleep when the body is dead?

Various have been the theories as to the condition of the soul after death. The Bible teaching regarding this much discussed question is very clear and simple, and there need be no confusion of mind at all if we are willing to accept what [...]

Has woman a soul? We read that man “became a living soul,” but nothing is said about the woman having a soul! Hence my question.

As the Scriptures are silent on this subject, and as much as the gentler and fairer sex is to be admired, to be in harmony with the Bible, and to answer the question therefrom (however painful it may be to state the fact) it [...]

In Genesis 2:7, we read "man became a living soul," and in Job 14:22, we read "his soul within him." Is the soul a part of man, or is the whole of man a living soul?

What is the soul? It is the life-giving quality, the energizing principle, in union with the organism, or body, forms the living, intelligent being: BODY + BREATH OF LIFE = SOUL. (Genesis 1:20,30; Genesis 2:7) The word soul in this connection is from the Hebrew [...]

Will you kindly explain the words of the Apostle as found in 1 Peter 4:6 Who were the dead that the gospel was preached to? And when and by whom? How will they be judged in the flesh and live to God in the spirit?

In the preceding verses, the Apostle Peter says, "Speaking evil of you who shall give an account to Him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead." From these words it is manifest that he is addressing the followers of Christ who [...]
